Sure, but we need a get-well plan for HEAD and 2013Q3, which violate the no-wip-references rule. After that, the package can be updated. I'd say it's better to delete the references and mark the package BROKEN on 2013Q4, and then to update on HEAD if that's how it is. The package is going to fail on bulk builds anyway, or should. Any reason not to just remove the dependencies and submit a pullup?
